Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: A-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

The cost of the Hadden reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, with Jayden Daniels leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 7 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brian Thomas Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
A tidy little value on Cooper DeJean in Round 3, Pick 2, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick102 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They jumped the gun on Audric Estime, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick 180 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
